tranquilice SG I just don't see that many pax would take it to Bt Merah. Remember service 198 used to ply Queenstown MRT station?
iveco SG But 198 went straight along Alexandra Rd after turning left. It didn't go anywhere near Bt Merah back then.
sbst275 SG There may be demand as Bt Merah is the nearest town centre. How do you know when there is no links all along?
tranquilice SG Yes, that was its past route. I was suggesting that since it plies Queenstown MRT station before, it can be amended to ply there again, then followed by Alexandra Rd, Jln Bt Merah and Bt Merah Central.
sbst275 SG Then West corridor people dun have buses to Ikea. That's why it's better to create new links with either 91 or 95 (But I prefer former as it helps to keep it profitable at least)
iveco SG Anchorage bus stop serves Ikea. Problem is very few bus svcs go all the way to west. 195 & 198 can be amended as such: 195: from MRC...Alexandra Rd, Queensway, C'wealth Dr...to MRC. 198: from BNL...C'wealth Ave, Alexandra Rd, Jln Bt Merah.
sbst275 SG I mean within the radius, can be BS at Jln Bt Merah that is near to SAFRA. Due to operational prob, it is impossible for 100% direct links, but they can be within walking dist
iamgoondu SG I had suggested to SBS on changes to 198, they failed to reply to me. I sent to them in February. I doubt their feedback form is working.
tranquilice SG I suggested (see my post above) that service 198 plies the stretch of Alexandra Rd between C'wealth Ave/Leng Kee Rd and Queensway/Jln Bt Merah, so pax from the west and Bt Merah have a bus link to IKEA.
sbst275 SG I understand now, but 91 will stay as of links from Nth Buona Vista to Alexandra Rd/ Henderson Rd
tranquilice SG There is already (suggest-of-amendment) service 198 from Nth Buona Vista Rd to this stretch of Alexandra Rd.
sbst275 SG My IBS will have a new bus stop just bef Blk 2 at Jln Bt Merah.... Making 198 call there is difficult as of the "jam" at the bus stop os Ikea which is blocked by queues of cars especially on weekends What abt Henderson Rd?
tranquilice SG Actually your IBS can call at the bus stop outside SAFRA instead of having a new stop. What's with Henderson Rd?
tranquilice SG Distance-related. The fare stages for this service are not included in this year Transitlink Guide.
